How we compiled this
Pricing was re-verified by fetching each vendor's official pricing page (buildium.com/pricing, doorloop.com/pricing, rentredi.com/pricing, hemlane.com/pricing, rentecdirect.com/pricing, propertyware.com/pricing, yardibreeze.com/pricing, avail.com/pricing) on 2026-06-15. Corrections applied: Rentec Direct base prices were wrong in the draft and were fixed to the live page ($55 Pro, $65 PM). AppFolio publishes no per-unit prices and directs visitors to request a quote, so all AppFolio monthlyUsd values are null (a null beats a guess; third-party per-unit estimates are noted but not used as confirmed prices). TurboTenant's pricing page returns HTTP 403; the free-forever tier and the $149/yr ($12.42/mo) Premium entry price were corroborated via TurboTenant's official Premium page/announcement and support center, with the clarification that Premium now scales by unit count (Essentials $149–$349/yr, Pro $199–$999/yr) rather than being a single flat plan. Yardi Breeze and Propertyware use per-unit pricing with monthly minimums and no single flat monthly fee, so their monthlyUsd values are null with per-unit rates and minimums recorded in notes. All prices are USD, monthly basis; where only an annual total was published the monthly equivalent is shown. accessedAt 2026-06-15.
